LEAD INVESTORS:
We designate a volunteer Lead Investor for most of our invested companies.
​
Suggested activities for Lead Investors with their invested companies:
-
Be the gateway to the broader Harvard Business School network for general business advice, business introductions, and mentorship.
-
Connect the company with the right HBS Expert Mentors​
-
Interface with the HBSAANY Mentor Committee to identify mentors and sources of company support.
-
-
Coordinate with other HBS Alumni Angel investors, where needed. [Translation: Help "Herd Cats" so the company doesn't have to.]
-
​Follow-on financing
-
Communication to investors on key company developments
-
Channeling input from Harvard investors where desired, or offered.
-
Note that the Lead Investor role is not intended to substitute for regular company updates to investors, or 1:1 communication when that is more appropriate. This is a voluntary role, with no implied liability to the lead investor for any action, or any inaction.
